Why Did They Kill Lara Croft™

Does anyone know why Lara Croft was killed at the end of the final Tomb Raider? Is Eidos going to come out with a game similar to it... that's really the only game I played on the computer. Now, I'm little by little getting into cars and aircrafts.

Can some of you name some good airplane games aside from Falcon 4.0 and Top Gun, Hornet's Nest?

The latest version of TR still has Lara "Dead". Von Croy and Pierre sit around reminiscing (sp) about her earlier adventures...this is what Tomb Raider-Chronicles is all about.

Supposedly a Mission/level editor is included on the CD and will allow the user the ability to design their own levels.

What it does it it signals the end of the TR series as currently known. A new, totally re-designed game engine is coming out, and Lara will be a character in the series, but not the main person - or so I understand it.

Love Lara, but she is getting a bit shopworn. You can only do so many things with her before it runs old. And now my son and his games have much better drawn and designed characters - female of course, that are giving Lara a run for her money.

Yes, the buzz seems to be that the time is wearing down. A TR game based on the movie is also supposed to come out when the movie does. Figure TR-Chronicles in November 2000, the Gold version of TR-LR where Lara does emerge from the egyptian tomb in May/June of 2001, then the game based on the movie also in summer 2001 and a new game engine already developed. Looks a bit like over-saturation!
